Description:

Young performers are invited to audition for "Hadestown: Teen Edition". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice and that of immortal King Hades and lady Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Additional info: Callbacks will be Sunday, April 13th (Time TBA). Rehearsals will start Monday, April 28th and generally run Monday- Thursdays from 6-9 p.m. with possible intensives on a Saturday or two. The audition material is attached. The audition form is attached to the sign-up link. If interested, please apply.
